Front Genet. 2023 Nov 2;14:1235337. doi: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1235337. eCollection 2023. ABSTRACT Introduction: Educational attainment, widely used in epidemiologic studies as a surrogate for socioeconomic status, is a predictor of cardiovascular health outcomes. Methods: A two-stage genome-wide meta-analysis of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and triglyceride (TG) levels was…

J Dev Behav Pediatr. 2023 Dec 1;44(9):e642-e650. doi: 10.1097/DBP.0000000000001233. Epub 2023 Nov 28. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: We compared cognitive profile and neuropsychological performance in 9-year-old offspring of mothers who were treated with metformin or insulin for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: A total of 172 children whose mothers were randomly assigned…

Circulation. 2023 Nov 28. doi: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.064296. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Although low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) remains the primary cholesterol target in clinical practice in children and adults, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) has been suggested as a more accurate measure of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. We examined the…

J Affect Disord. 2023 Nov 23:S0165-0327(23)01437-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jad.2023.11.068. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Patterns of sensory inputs early in life play an integral role in shaping the maturation of neural circuits, including those implicated in emotion and cognition. In both experimental animal models and observational human research, unpredictable sensory…

Nat Commun. 2023 Nov 22;14(1):7630. doi: 10.1038/s41467-023-42763-9. ABSTRACT Although the genetic basis and pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes have been studied extensively, how host responses to environmental factors might contribute to autoantibody development remains largely unknown. Here, we use longitudinal blood transcriptome sequencing data to characterize host responses in children…

medRxiv. 2023 Nov 8:2023.11.07.23298200. doi: 10.1101/2023.11.07.23298200. Preprint. ABSTRACT Metabolomic age models have been proposed for the study of biological aging, however they have not been widely validated. We aimed to assess the performance of newly developed and existing nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) metabolomic age models for prediction of chronological…

Infant Behav Dev. 2023 Nov 16;74:101900. doi: 10.1016/j.infbeh.2023.101900. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT It has been suggested that infants’ age-typical attention biases for faces and facial expressions have an inherent connection with the parent-infant interaction. However, only a few previous studies have addressed this topic. To investigate the association between…

Dev Psychopathol. 2023 Nov 17:1-16. doi: 10.1017/S0954579423001396. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Studies indicate that gut microbiota is related to neurodevelopmental and behavioral outcomes. Accordingly, early gut microbiota composition (GMC) has been linked to child temperament, but research is still scarce. The aim of this study was to examine…

J Hypertens. 2023 Nov 16. doi: 10.1097/HJH.0000000000003619. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Stress, and particularly job strain, has been found to associate with ambulatory blood pressure (BP). Moreover, BP is known to vary between days. One potential over-looked factor underlying this day-to-day BP variation could be work-related psychosocial factors.

Sleep Med. 2023 Oct 12;112:291-300. doi: 10.1016/j.sleep.2023.10.006. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Maternal depression and anxiety symptoms are common across the perinatal period and are associated with a raised risk for adverse child outcomes. While substantial evidence exists for child outcomes such as behaviour, language and cognition, infant sleep has…
